Sustainability is a core priority for the University of Southampton, not only within its own operations but also in its role as a leader in driving progress towards environmental harmony. By 2030 we aim to embed sustainability across all aspects of our operation, from emissions reduction to education, research, investment and civic engagement.

The event will provide an overview of the UoS Sustainability Strategic Plan, outlining its six key goals and the milestones set to achieve them. Members of the Sustainability Implementation Group, alongside senior University leaders and goal champions, will present updates on sustainability initiatives, highlight progress made, and discuss future challenges and opportunities.

The University's commitments include exploring how its efforts could contribute to the City's broader sustainability agenda, supporting local businesses/communities, and aligning with national/international environmental targets. The event will also address how individuals-whether students, staff, local residents, or professionals-can engage with and benefit from these initiatives.
